IMO, the press is making a bigger deal out of this because Rudy is an ‘08 candidate. If this is the worst they can find against him, thats not too bad.

It’s a story because Rudy:

1. lied about having been warned about his connections before appointing him NYPD chief
2. recommended him as head of DHS
3. continued to praise Kerik and ignore that he was corrupt
4. uttered unbelievable comments such as a resignation due to an illegal alien nanny,

Had he not, then maybe he would be given a break.

But, since he arrogantly touted this crook, and only admitted today that he had made a mistake, I say ‘bring it on!’ Giuliani showed extraodinarily poor judgment, every step of the way, and his utter comtempt for those who value justice, law, and order.

You either forgot a sarcasm tag, or you are living in a vacuum. You think the dirt stops here on Rudy Giuliani? Criminals swarm to him like cockroaches to filth.

This is sad, I read on some sites that his book is supposed to be good, ie, his background is so interesting and he overcame a lot after being abandoned by his mother as an infant.
He is a third-degree black belt in tae kwon do and has a background in antiterrorism. He worked for years in the Middle East for Saudi Royalty and took a substantial pay cut to become a beat cop in Times Square in 1986. He went undercover to buy drugs in Harlem, seized millions of dollars of coke from the drug lords of the Cali cartel, and was awarded the police Department Medal of Valor for saving the life of a fellow officer.

In the 1990’s, as the city’s commission of correction, he ended most of the violence at Rikers and transformed it into a model of its kind.

Kerik directed a police force of 55,000 - the largest municipal force in the world

I hope he did not knowingly commit a crime, after coming up under hard knocks this way, maybe the DA is wrong, we shall see.
